Chemical Peels

Where to Get Chemical Peels in Dubai

At Polyclinic.ae, peels are performed exclusively by licensed dermatologists and aesthetic doctors using professional-grade formulations from Obagi ZO Skin and Appexx.

Obagi ZO Skin offers medical-grade superficial and medium-depth peels based on glycolic, lactic, salicylic, and retinoic acids — ideal for pigmentation and early aging signs.

Appexx peels combine AHA, BHA, and pyruvic acids, working at a deeper level to treat acne, post-acne, and uneven texture.

Each treatment plan is customized individually — doctors may combine different peel formulations or integrate them with other skin procedures to achieve maximum effect.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation procedure using acids to trigger skin renewal.

Obagi ZO Skin works gently — brightening, refining texture, reducing pigmentation and fine lines, and restoring radiance. These peels are ideal for photoaging prevention and early skin rejuvenation.

Appexx peels act deeper — helping with acne, scars, and uneven texture. The combination of acids regulates sebum production, minimizes pores, and smooths the skin surface.

A course of treatments makes the skin visibly fresher, smoother, and younger-looking.
